Submitted to an Interview.

4 REFLECTOR reporter gained an
audience with Major Geo. l.. CrOll, who
has Just returned from tour of Ireland,
Scotland, Wales, England and France,
this morning, and gained an interview.
AS prelude perhaps it will be well
enough to state that Mr.. Croll left, Abb
lene on the End day of May last, and
was Joined in New York by DR.. Mitch
ell, of Delaware, Ohio, who accom-
panied him, and they sailed from New
York on the 14th day of May for
Queenstown. The Major assures us
that the scene at the wharf in New
York the day he sailed has left last
ing impression upon his mind. Floral
gifts by the hundreds were bestowed
upon the passengers of the. "Umbria, :"
the Cunard steamship in which Messrs.
Cron and Mitchell crossed the briny
deep. Fully two thousand people were
present upon that day, taking leave of
friends and bestowings souvenirs of
affection. Many of the floral gifts
were exquisite and costly.
1.-The 'sUmbrian arrived at Queens
town on the morning of May 21st, being
six days and six hours in making the
voyage. MessFS. GreA and Mitchell
visited all the places of note in Ireland
Scotland and Wales, and proceeded to
London, where they consumed eight
weeks in taking in the scenes of that

Oft as he wanders from door TO door,
Must he think OF the old home again.

But should he OF yon ask for work,
Would You in him the right spirit Undue,

New York World: Every artificial
and arbitrary increase in the cost of
food or living In any of its branches
is not only wrong to individuals,
but an injury to the country. Even
a slight increase in the price of flour
or meat or fuel or light makes the diff
ference between plenty and deprlva-
ton, comfort and misery, health and
disease In thousands of families. Tt
likewise checks expectation, and thus
deprives producers of market. The
men who, through love Of gain and
to increase their already enormous
fortunes, force speculative advance
of this kind are public enemies. I'm
til the law forbids such conspiracies,
it is to be hoped that the failures will
be as frequent as the attempts.

Newspaper Advertisements.

An advertisement of the present
day, as rule, is q model of clearness,
precision, and compactness.
In fact, quite degree of pleasure
can he.derived from the perusal of 1t,
aside from the important Information
which it oftentimes conveys.
In ingenuity the modern advertise
ment Is remarkable; in fact, it is FREE
quently work of art, both In liter
airy and Typographical sense. The
aim Of some advertisers in many
cases seems to be to draw the atten-
tion of the reader away from the fact
that 1t Is an advertisement. While
not taking rank among what may be
termed literary productions, it pos
sesses many of their brightest fea-
lures. In the hands Of . master
workman, be he advertiser, writer, or
compositor, the matter becomes at
tractive to the most casual reader.
The lattsr's attention Is drawn to-
ward it, and his interest in it aroused
before lie is fully aware OF the fact.
The old style OF merely putting ones
merchandise has passed out of date.
The reading and purchasing public of
to-day demand something stronger
and better. That this want is recog-
nized and appreciated 10y the keen ad-
vertiser and equally alert public is
apparent to almost every one. The
fact is, advertising has become such
an integral part of modern business
methods that it is almost impossible
to carry on any kind of trade or traf-
flc without It's aid. 1t is we'll known
that many concerns pay large salaries
to skilled writers whose only employ
ment is the invention and the franz
ing of attractive and telling adver-
tlsements.
Thousands of dollars are annually
expended simply in putting the mat
ter in shape, and many millions more
for its publication in the press. The
firm who can express in clear. strong,
and concise lsnguage, set in attrac-
tive form of display, just what i. has
to offer, at once attracts tie mer-
chant AS we'll as the consumer.
No merchant can now VIII, lily dc
pend for business upon the fact of his
being well known to the trade. No
matter how many years he may have
been established, or how familiar his
name is to the purchasing public, or
how celebrated his wares are; II he
does not advertise and keep doing so
in some way, buyers and consumers
will in time ignore him and visit and
trade with his competitor who sounds
his trumpet upon all occasions to the
extent of thousands of dollars year,
and pays the same without murmur
because it, pays him ito do so.-Dry
Goods Review.

Chicago Tribune: Every applicant
for citizenship should be refused it in
case of any reasonable suspicion that
he is tainted with Socialistic or An
archistic views. The courts must
stand squarely on the law IN its pro-
lection against dangerous citizenship.
Further, those who have procured
naturalization by false pretences and
perjury should be stripped of their
ill-gotten rights. 1t is principle of
law that fraud vitiates contract.
This sound doctrine Is as applicable
to the acquisition of political right
as to property or any privilege or
franchise that one may acquire by
contract. There Is a large field here
for reform.
